CVE-2025-11434
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in itsourcecode Student Transcript Processing System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /login.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument uname can lead to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Student Transcript Processing System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate the 'uname' parameter in /login.php to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially bypassing authentication or exfiltrating sensitive data from the database.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm the Student Transcript Processing System is deployedLocate the web application directory and identify if the login.php file exists at the root or in the web directory. Check application files for version identification markers such as version files, headers, or README files that may indicate version 1.0.Affected if The application is itsourcecode Student Transcript Processing System version 1.0 and the login.php file is present.
-
Verify the login.php endpoint accepts the uname parameterInspect the login.php source code and locate the authentication logic that processes the 'uname' parameter from the login form. Confirm the parameter is received via POST or GET request.Affected if The login.php file processes the 'uname' parameter for user authentication.
-
Check if the uname parameter is used in dynamic SQL constructionExamine the login.php code around the authentication section to identify whether the uname value is concatenated directly into an SQL query string without using prepared statements or parameter binding.Affected if The uname parameter is directly interpolated into an SQL query string without sanitization or parameterized queries.
-
Confirm database queries lack prepared statementsSearch the login.php file for usage of mysqli_prepare, PDO::prepare, or similar prepared statement functions. Also check for input sanitization functions like mysqli_real_escape_string or htmlspecialchars applied to the SQL query before execution.Affected if No prepared statement functions are used for the login query and no input escaping is applied to the uname parameter before database operations.
A user is affected if they have itsourcecode Student Transcript Processing System version 1.0 deployed with the login.php file containing direct SQL query construction using the uname parameter without prepared statements or input sanitization.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) for the login authentication and all other user-supplied inputs; validate and sanitize all input before database operations.
